Today, we perfected our technique of blasting a washing machine frame (sheet metal w/o inner drum) 15 feet into the air! There were lots of fellow rednecks around … half a mile off to the side, across the highway a mile or so, etc. It’s Saturday, ya know… We could hear ‘pops’ from all over… the smaller calibers and the boomers. Boomers???…… I would love to have seen the look on their faces when they first heard the sounds coming from the general direction of the black spot in the distance… And the echos……

Model rockets. A LOT of running. Road cycling. I like to see what I can make myself do. Have yet to do a 100 mile run, but have done plenty of 50's and 100K's. The rockets are really fun. I wonder if they'll tack me up to a barn door if I launch one from the summit of Devils Tower?

Nice Medric- I'm in the same boat. Haven't run 100m, but certainly 100k, although 50k is my favorite because I can really push the pace for that distance. My favorite 100k is to leave the valley floor, run up 4-mile trail (a misnomer) to glacier pt, go up Illilouette creek, hit mono meadow, then up over Red Peak Pass, down the Merced canyon, out to Glacier pt again, then down to the valley. You should do it if you ever go to Yosemite! I guarantee you'll run into a deaf woman (Pattie, I think) doing the same run in reverse. In three years of doing that one in september, I've run into her every time.

Well, I'm tentatively planning to spend June in Yosemite. Prolly all of September and October too. So that means new trails to run. Is there enough lightly "car"ed roads to warrant bringing a road bike?

Experimental rocket motors and rockets. Some AP, Zinc, binder, Tepanol, Aluminum... mix well. For reference, the motor in the video was test fired this past weekend in my backyard. The motor is about a J700 [38mm], 1.15 sec burn time. The small brother of a full K [54mm] going into a minimum diameter 'mach-buster' next weekend in Maryland. Should go over 1000 MPH to 13000' AGL.
My neighbors are scared of me.

from the previous thread, that blower wasn't a wind machine.
this is what i use: 3400hp 16cyl turbocharged. from some kind of old bomber, don't remeber what.
we use it to simulate windloads while doing mock-up testing of high-end building facades. the rack shown in front of the blower is spraying water at 5gallons/hour/square foot.

Bachar you are screwing up David Blanes block your other foot that you are standing on trick.. At least have your standing foot heal in the pic vice the toe since the toe is what you stand on. Also, it is more effective when you show the upper body.

Rokjox-- You are a serious HAM, what a shack. I'm also a licensed HAM, but orginally only out of necessity for flying paragliders. Although my HTs have come into use now for many other activities: Car caravans, resort skiing, PG, hiking with several parties, climbing etc.
Again, that is a serious set-up :-))

I have way too many hobbies.
I figured the best way to see Alaska was with a boat, and for some reason the thought of building a boat seemed like a good idea. So 30 odd sheets of plywood, 30 gallons of epoxy, yards and yards of fiberglass and a bunch of misc hardware, oh year 3 1/2 years of part time work resulted in my version of a copy of our local boat designer Renn Tolman's widebody skiff, Renn on the right.
And it's a great way to see cool stuff
Then there is cross country and downhill skiing, snowshoeing, and just staying warm in the winter. What better way to keep warm on a ski trip than a little fire to roast some weenies on.
I've been described as a patron of the arts, as all three of children play the violin, and danged those private lessons add up! Between watching their various concerts and season tickets to the opera, I guess that holds true.
I enjoy taking pics of wildlife when I come across it, like on teh way back to work after stopping off at home for lunch.
And what better way to start the new year than a hike in the mountains
to watch the sunset.

Here's something to do that will keep you from climbing. We've had some water dripping from our kitchen sink into the garage downstairs, causing some drywall damage. Turns out there was a defective batch of 2" abs pipe in the early 80's, and wouldn't you know we were lucky enough to have some installed in our house. So being cheap, I figured I'd go at it myself.
Since the sink drain was behind the kitchen cabinets, I ended up kinda destroying them in the process of finding the leak. Well the cabinets were 25 y/o and at end of life, so a leak repair has turned into, replacing all the cabinets, demoing a soffit, replacing the kitchen window w/ a larger one (the original was an oddball custom size, so going with a custom replacement might as well make it larger) oh yeah, and replacing the light ficture with recessed lights. The lights required two itchy cramped trips in the attic to get em installed and wired. Not sure if balancing between trusses to keep from falling through the ceiling has helped my climbing or not.
here is before:
The drywall patch over the repaired pipes.
and the while I was at it drywall work on the demoed soffits.
Almost done, just need to install the counter tops, cut out the sink and re-plumb it.
